1. Compare these two definitions, and then let me know what you think:

2. I agree with you.

1. I think I was wrong because a symbol is one thing representing another so that would not be an analogy.
My question: if it was an analogy would it always be set up like a river is to dreams as a something is to something?
3. it could be third person ominiscent, ecept if the poem/song/story states the creator created a persona(first person) then it can't be a third person ominiscent, also?
1. Yes, if it's an analogy, it always needs to be two pairs of things compared.
3. Why not?

3.Because according to what I learning when an author creates a persona it is first person point of view not third person because it is speaking using "I" etc;
You wrote: 3.If a song or poem is written and the narrator/poetic/songwriter remembers those dreams but it actually is that the dreams didn't happen to him, he created a "persona," correct?
Are those dreams being told by a first-person character inside the third-person omniscient narrator's story, then you have two points of view because you have a story-within-a-story -- a frame story.
~ Were you given choices? If so, what are they?
~ Is that second character telling his/her story in first person?
You've set up (or have been given) a complicated storyline!
It was stated that a poet/songwriter wrote the poem/song as a first person however the dreams didn't really happen to him and then they provided an analysis essay and referred to the fact that the poet/songwriter had created a persona-that's where I'm confused
OK, that explanation makes sense. Yes, the writer created a new character (a persona) whose dreams are symbolized by that river. It it is obviously a frame story, but if that's not the focus of the question, then go with the "persona" as the answer.
